Chapter 119 Why doesn’t she abandon others but you?
It was a perfect day with clear skies, gentle breezes and warm sun.
Xia Siwen, the youngest daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, was drinking tea with the Tenth Princess He Baozhu in a private room on the third floor of a teahouse. They happened to see the carriage of the Shangshu Mansion on the long street and asked her maid to invite them upstairs for a cup of tea.
Qiao Wanyan pushed the door open and nodded slightly. She walked inside and said with a smile, "Sister is free today. I didn't attend the banquet at the Taifu Mansion a few days ago. I thought I could see you."
She then added, "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
He Baozhu smiled when she saw her come in. No wonder Pin Xixi said that she was the luckiest person. Not to mention that she came to ancient times and had no worries about food and drink and someone to serve her, she could also see such a beautiful Meibao. No one in the world was luckier than her.
Of course, except for the fart that attacked him head-on in the palace a few days ago.
Xia Siwen smiled and said, "Sister, you know I'm planning to get married recently, so I finally managed to take some time off to go out today. If I continue for a while, I'm afraid I won't have time to go out, which will really annoy me."
Qiao Wanyan opened her eyes and relaxed her brows, "Sister will marry her childhood sweetheart soon, and her face is full of joy. I don't believe you will be annoyed."
Xia Siwen chuckled and said coquettishly, "You are the only one who likes to tease me."
He Baozhu suddenly thought of Qiao Wanyan's childhood sweetheart, Prince Jing. The original owner had no impression of him, but she took a close look at him at the palace banquet.
He is handsome, really handsome.
In the modern entertainment industry, she is someone who can make it to the top with her beauty.
None of the royal children and children of powerful families were too ugly, especially the royal family. Even if the emperor was ugly, none of his concubines were ugly, not to mention that the emperor was not ugly either.
In modern times, she would also be a favorite among uncles.
Genes change from generation to generation. Not to mention the Crown Prince and Prince Jing, who are both gifted in appearance, even the body that he himself has transmigrated into is much better looking than his previous one.
But even with such a great look, it is still beyond their reach for them to match her!
He Baozhu thinks that Meibao should be the empress and put all those men into the harem so that she would not lose out. She is such a doting mother fan.
What's more, if she was abandoned, it's not Meibao's fault.
Why didn’t Meibao abandon others, but had to abandon him?
That's because they didn't work hard enough. Would they be abandoned if they were good enough? King Jing should look for the reason in himself!
If Meibao is willing to be her best friend, she would be willing to do so even if she got hundreds of favors!
Qiao Wanyan was talking to Xia Siwen, and couldn't help but stare at He Dingding beside her. "Princess, are you doing well recently?"
He Baozhu's mind couldn't catch up with her words, "I do!"
Qiao Wanyan: “…”
Xia Siwen: “…”
He Baozhu blinked her almond eyes, then shook her head, "No, I said I'm doing fine."
Qiao Wanyan had a bright smile on her face, and sighed inwardly, thinking that the Tenth Princess didn't seem to be much smarter than Jiang Qiyun.
Xia Siwen changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Wanyan, what's wrong with your elder sister recently?"
He Baozhu hadn't visited her recently, and didn't know what she was doing recently. But if it was her, she would probably find a place to hide and never go out again in her life.
"What happened to Yihuan recently?"
Xia Siwen said: "We give out porridge every day in Fengyu Street. I heard that many beggars go there. Some poor people also got porridge. I heard that the people praised the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion for her kindness and compassion."
Xia Siwen said, "Your elder sister is really a troublemaker. As a concubine's daughter, you should just listen to your family's arrangements for marriage. The concubines in my family were all married off by our mother. They got married as soon as they reached the age of 15, and they lived a peaceful life."
Although the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat was a concubine, her family would not arrange for her to be too bad. If she was married off casually, she would be known as a concubine who treated concubines harshly, which would be embarrassing.
Even if she doesn't marry into a wealthy family, she should at least be the mistress of a respectable family, live a harmonious and happy life, be blessed by her family, and not be bullied.
This concubine's daughter from the Minister of Revenue's house had an affair with the Crown Prince, and was publicly caned by the Emperor, bringing disgrace upon herself. Now she's making a fuss about giving out porridge.
Isn't it just about making a good reputation for yourself?
He Baozhu, as a modern person, cannot understand the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate daughters. These legitimate daughters generally look down on illegitimate daughters.
But if you change your mindset, if you meet the mistress's sister in modern times, you won't be able to get along with her either.
But in ancient times, there was no such thing as a mistress. It was normal for a man to take a concubine. The mother of this body was not the queen, but a concubine, so she could only be vague about this matter.
Don't be annoyed or approve, just take care of yourself.
She is not a savior. Anyone who stands out will be shot.
It is simply a fantasy to think that one can change the worldview of these people in ancient times by relying on modern people's thinking.
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "My sister had something happen to her in the palace some time ago. She has been depressed and unwilling to talk to people since she came back. Now she is willing to go out and do good deeds, and mother is relieved."
Xia Siwen said with emotion: "Madam Shangshu is really a very kind woman. Qiao Yihuan must have accumulated good deeds in her previous life to be born into the Qiao family."
He Baozhu didn't say anything. Qiao Yihuan was the first friend she made since coming to this world.
But without going through some hardships, even relatives find it difficult to see through each other.
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything else, but just watched a familiar carriage passing by outside the window, and the smile on her lips became even more intense.
She stood up and said, "It's getting late. My mother asked me to go home early today, so I'll leave now."
On Fengyu Street, Qiao Yihuan, dressed in simple clothes, was scooping porridge for people with a spoon. With a gentle and harmless smile on her lips, she told everyone to eat slowly and not to rush. Everyone had this feeling.
He Zhiyu's carriage stopped in the distance, and he saw her getting off the carriage with a familiar look on her face.
Qiao Yihuan accidentally looked up and saw him. Her eyes turned red in an instant and tears fell drop by drop. She looked away, put down the spoon in her hand, and walked aside to wipe her tears.
A handkerchief was handed to him.
Qiao Yihuan slowly raised her head, looked at the person she was thinking about in her dream, and cried even more pitifully with her head down.
"Yihuan, don't cry."
Qiao Yihuan didn't say anything, just cried silently. But she felt relieved in her heart. The reason why His Highness didn't come to see her during this period was really because he was too busy with government affairs, not because he disliked her because of what happened that day.
"Why are you here to distribute porridge?"
Qiao Yihuan choked up for a long time before slowly speaking: "I don't want to stay at home, but I don't know what to do if I go out, so I thought about doing something within my ability to help others and accumulate merit."
Just as He Zhiyu was about to speak, there was a commotion in the distance.
"What happened?"
Jing Yuan stepped forward and said immediately, "Your Highness, it seems that a carriage has suddenly lost control. The coachman was thrown off the carriage, and the carriage is running wildly without anyone controlling it."
A sharp voice sounded. It was Zi Yuan running hurriedly, shouting as she ran, "Miss! Miss!"
He Zhiyu frowned, turned around and left quickly.
Qiao Yihuan looked at his back and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.
